'The only thing you have that is eternal is your soul. Your essence. It is a shard of the divine; a spark of starlight. From the boughs of the Spirit Tree it fell, and to its boughs it will return to fall again. And endless cycle. To break this cycle is the gravest sin. For this reason is Necromancy to be reviled.
Any Art that consumes, destroys, or imprisons the spirit is punishable by death.'
- Librarian Elska, Aether and Other Domains
